Life

Holy Hieromartyr Secundinus was born in Spain and was a bishop in Numidia, in North Africa. He suffered a martyr's death in the year 259, in the time of the Emperor Valerian, together with Bishop Agapius, the virgins Tertula and Antonia and a woman whose name has not been kept, killed with her two children.

The Greek synaxarion says nothing more about how he died. Saint Secundinus is commemorated on 29 April, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece, together with the other martyrs of the group.
